Deep in prayer: The Church of God of Prophecy in Georgia, Atlanta, where the boy died. The bullet fired from an AK-47 assault rifle passed through the roof and struck him on the head
英国每日电讯报报道,命案发生在上周四晚上,男童彼得斯与父母,到迪凯特市一座教堂做礼拜迎接新年,妈妈说:“我看到他的电子游戏机掉落地上,听到他尖叫了一声,就倒在我脚下,头部血流如注。”
她和丈夫见状,吓得目瞪口呆,不知道独生子为何会无缘无故惨死,直至医生在男童头颅取出弹头,才知道儿子中弹死亡,连天花都穿了个小洞。
武器专家估计,夺命子弹极可能由AK47步枪发射,枪手当时在距离教堂约4.8公里外,向天鸣枪庆祝新年,枪嘴以30至40度角发射,子弹坠落时射穿教堂天花,再击中男童头颅。
